Dalai Lama Mongolia Visit

Mongolia's foreign minister says the Dalai Lama will no longer be allowed to visit his country after a visit by the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader prompted protests from China and a suspension of talks on a major loan.

China's official media today warned Mongolia that it is "politically harebrained" to seek India's help as the move will further complicate bilateral ties, amid reports that Ulan Bator sought New Delhi's support to overcome financial difficulties arising out of many factors including the imposition of border tariffs against it by China.

China urged Mongolia on Sunday to take steps to protect the two countries' relations after the Dalai Lama visited the central Asian country at the weekend, despite Beijing repeatedly voicing its opposition.

The Dalai Lama preached to thousands of Buddhists in Mongolia despite demands from China that the visit by the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader be scrapped, at a time Mongolia seeks a critical aid package from its powerful neighbour.

The Dalai Lama met with Buddhist worshippers on Saturday during a four-day visit to Mongolia, despite Beijing's strident demand that he be barred from entering the country.

The Dalai Lama preached Saturday to thousands of supporters in Mongolia, on a visit set to test the country's ties with China at a time when it is seeking a critical aid package from its powerful neighbor.

China today warned Mongolia of "serious repurcussions" to bilateral ties if it allowed the Dalai Lama to visit the country and allow the monk to engage in "separatist activities".

Mongolian Buddhists say the Dalai Lama will visit the landlocked Asian nation this week, potentially sparking an angry response from China.
